The White House is preparing to engage Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei after the company’s Mythos model drew attention from federal officials for its potential national security and economic implications. White House chief of staff Susie Wiles is expected to meet Amodei to discuss model risks, guardrails, and federal evaluation requirements. The meeting reflects an ongoing dispute between the Trump administration and safety-focused AI labs, including earlier efforts to restrict federal agencies from using Anthropic tools tied to a contract conflict involving the Pentagon. A federal court previously blocked enforcement of Trump’s directive against federal use of Anthropic products. Anthropic also says Mythos is highly capable at cybersecurity tasks, including finding vulnerabilities, and is initially limiting access to select customers. In parallel, international governance advocates—via leading AI researchers—are pushing for broader coordination as frontier AI capability increases faster than regulatory alignment.
